Biography

“Storms make trees take deeper roots” said Dolly Parton. Kalahysteri learned Dolly’s lesson: with their feet on the ground and their eyes looking ahead, Kalahysteri crafted 10 new songs, travelling into a parallel universe leading the listener to the core of popular music.

Kalahysteri songs are naked and raw, thriving and intriguing, deep and dreamy. Their debut album is a color palette that stretches from blues to power pop, from european folk to rock’n’roll and crafted into something new: 10 modern pop songs played with traditional instruments.

New York based Impose Magazine praise for Kalahysteri:

"... they meld together their more traditional instruments with a haunting harmonies, and as the song progresses, the tempo and urgency of the song picks up, creating an alluring frenzy in the listener.
...
Kalahysteri has learned to keep their heads up and steady in times of strife, and their ten-song album, ranging from bluesy pop to european folk music, proves that these ladies know how to stay on top."

Astrid Dante (Miss Chain & The Broken Heels), Elisa De Munari (Elli de Mon) and Giusi Pesenti (Dry & Dusty, Grace O'Malley Quartet) put all their personalities and experiences into this new adventure called Kalahysteri (a neologism for “beautiful hysteria): three fiery tempered women with whom not even the devil himself would make a pact!
